A realist with just enough optimism to keep things interesting—think grounded solutions with a touch of “what if we just went for it?”

Ossoff makes an important point here that accurately frames Trump’s election fraud lies as racist. Trump’s 2020 election lies and efforts to overturn its results always target Black voters as illegitimate. The localities Trump challenged were disproportionately majority-Black.

Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, one of our most-read stories was about the shift in the billionaire’s personal charity plans after revelations about the Microsoft co-founder’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. ft.trib.al/BmaqCNN

Exactly this. After a certain point, wealth is useless. No person/family can spend that ungodly amount of wealth in a generation or 2 or 10. They simply hoard it after stealing it from the people who actually created the wealth for them. It's dystopian and points to a dysfunctional society.

Friends, as you wade through the river of shit that the Celtics organization and the analytics bros pump out, today, trying to justify one of the worst trades in NBA history, just remember: You were right to love Jaylen Brown, he was as good as you thought he was on the court, and better off it.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t
